Also, reading some news stories, I think there's gonna be some stomping of rights in the name of defending rights... ie: demanding people to quit their jobs as marriage licensees because of their religious beliefs (discrimination based on religion)... which is frankly, more wrong than telling people that marriage is for a man and a woman only.
A lot of people are simply too afraid to say they are opposed to it because they don't want to be declared intolerant, bigotted, ignorant, paranoid or anything else people in favor of it want to throw at them.

I'm sure there will be a lot of bleeding hearts for people who believe its their job to decide which lifestyle other people deserve to live. Which it isn't, their job is to make sure that everything is legally sound, not to take a subjective look at a persons religious beliefs. And nobody is demanding them to do anything, its their choice to continue with their career or not, if they can't do the job that they are paid to do then I'm sure they will be able to find a new line of work that isn't so emotionally distressing
A lot of people were pretty put out about people of different races getting married, I'm sure there were people out there saying that they were just too scared of being called a bigot or any of the other various accurate terms you've thrown out there. Someone on this board stated that in 20 years everyone is going to be wondering what all the fuss was about, and I think that time will prove him to be right.
